What is the ruling on the mixing of men and women in the Haram?

Question:
He says: As you know, what happens in the Haram is the mixing of men and women, and also placing the rows of women before the men. We ask you to give us your guidance on this and to be strict in your advice. May Allah bless you?

Answer:
O brothers, the matter of the Haram is a matter of necessity. The crowds of people and the congestion are such that it is not possible to absolutely prevent women from passing through or from approaching the men because of the severe congestion. A person fears for his own safety from the crowd.
This severe congestion is a state of necessity. And with this, the responsible parties—may Allah reward them with good—try, they try to separate the women as much as they can. In prayer, they provide them with reserved places for prayer, they make special doors for them, and they make special pathways for them. So they are trying, but there are things that are not possible.
Separation in it, even in the Tawaf during times of ease, they place a barrier between the women and the men, and they place people standing in the Tawaf. But if the congestion becomes severe, they cannot do this. If the congestion becomes severe, they cannot separate the men and the women. This is a state of necessity. Yes.
